The Hair Divot

after months
many moons
taking to my
hairbrush

pulling out
the hair that
my brush had 
pulled out

from my head
and beard but
what to do
with it as it

seems a waste
to throw away
so pondering
thoughts thinking

recycle

so first i tried
to be a cat and
swallow then
throw up

but
hairballs
aren't any
fun so then

drying it out
trying to 
push it in 
as if lint

into my
bellybutton
but it was 
too small so

next
puckering my
lips as to kiss
adding this

hair to where
my mustache
already
exists

it tickled
my nose
to sneeze not
wanting none

of this
so thus lit
the lightbulb
above my head

a great idea
super gluing
back where
it had 

come
from
touche
toupee

I have a lot of back hair I would be happy to get rid of. It's yours if you want it. Clever poem my friend. Have a great day.
